Rock The Reformer® by Potomac Pilates of Chevy Chase

One word — excellent! I’ve been coming to this location for a year and a half now and I love it. The instructors are all knowledgable and very good, every class is different so you don’t get bored doing the same moves. It’s challenging in a good way. I would recommend it to all levels. You won’t be disappointed.

Classes are the perfect workout. Instructors are friendly, creative, and engaged. And they really know their stuff. Love the frequency of the classes, too. Pricing for monthly unlimited classes (1 per day max) is a great deal if you go frequently, like I do. Love the business model: simple, direct, targeted. A win all around!

Love the Friendship Heights studio. There are tons of class times, good instructors, and easy to get to. I’ve taken Pilates at gyms and other studios, and this is the best I’ve been to… I like the variety of instructors and exercises. Definitely recommended.

I am a great fan of Potomac Pilates for the following reasons among others: last minute booking, happy hour offerings at lower prices, convenience of parking at Wisconsin Ave, cleanliness, good instructors, ease of booking. I highly recommended it!

I’ve tried many of the boutique fitness studios in the DC metro area, and Potomac Pilates is among my favorites. The instructors are terrific and the classes are small enough that you get personal attention to your form. It’s a great workout!

I really appreciate the clean studio and the very professional instructors. Each instructor has a unique personality and stye that enriches each class experience.
I have attended Potomac Pilates for almost 8 years at all their studios. I am challenged at every class!

I love this studio! I had taken private lessons for a few years ago and wanted to get back into it now. The classes are great, and instructors all know what they’re doing. I almost never find myself checking the clock to see how much time is left, which has to be a great sign. I started taking classes when I lived in Bethesda so the commute was great. I moved to NE and stopped taking classes, but was back within a month because I couldn’t find anywhere that compared. The monthly membership is definitely more expensive than I would like, but I know I won’t get the same results from anything else so it’s worth it.

I absolutely loved the month of unlimited Pilates I did at Potomac Pilates. As a beginner in Pilates, I found it very easy to get intigrated with the help of the instructors. All of the instructors I had were exceptional and were so helpful when correcting my posture and pose. After not doing it for a few weeks, I already miss it. I have nothing bad to say about Potomac Pilates.

Potomac Pilates is my favorite addiction. I started doing Pilates last January (2014) because yoga just wasn’t cutting it. I immediately fell in love with Potomac Pilates and their teachers. I would go every single day if I could! The instructors are knowledgeable, welcoming, and give you a GREAT work out at low impact. It’s the first time in a long time that I actually get excited and look forward to working out!!! I would shout out my favorite teachers but I would basically be listing the entire Potomac Pilates staff! Over the past 9 months I’ve lost 11 pounds and the only thing I’ve been doing differently is Pilates, so I’m proof, it really works!!!
I was concerned my new job would get in the way of my Pilates schedule but because they have early morning and late evening classes I am still able to squeeze a class in before or after work which I’m so grateful for. It’s the perfect way to start or end my day, Potomac Pilates is my happy place.
I love Potomac Pilates! Definitely worth the cost.

This is a review of the Palisades location. Classes are small, and instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and provide personalized guidance. They also do a pretty good job of making the classes interesting by using the many props /​accessories to the reformer.
The only reason I left off a star was because of the price. Although it seems on par for reformer classes, they are still expensive. Also, the Palisades classes are rarely filled so I wish they offered deals /​specials specific to that location. They have a great special for newcomers so I’m glad I was able to try them out.

If you want a zero impact workout that is really challenging, try a Pilates reformer workout on the Balanced Body Allegro 2 reformer. Looks easy but you know it’s not when you’re sore the next day. Sara P ‘s level 2 class is great. Good range of exercises and just the right amount of props and transitions.

The classes are fantastic. I’ve only been to one class but my only problem was that the space was not really well lit and it can be hard to be motivated when the space is not bright.

I first started taking pilates reformer classes in San Diego, where you could get them at a great group studio for $ 11 a class. Back on the east coast, you’re lucky to find a reformer class for less than $ 35 a pop. Since you should really do it at least 3 times a week, that gets pricey fast.
I’m glad I found Potomac Pilates, as they have a great monthly membership that’s available. So the more classes you go to, the cheaper cost per class. They also offer a happy hour membership at a reduced rate, which restricts classes to weekdays after lunchtime. Those classes I hear fill up fast. They open registration a month out for all classes. You register online and have a handy iPhone app too.
I had my first class today, and it was great. The class size isn’t too big, and the instruction was clear. The studio is easy to get to and clean. They make everyone wear toe socks, which takes getting used to but is also handy in the winter since I haven’t had a pedicure in ages. Most importantly, it was a good workout. Looking forward to my next workout.
I only wish a pilates studio would open up with child care so I could go more!
